Yes, It is possible to do if you remove the integrase protein and the repressor protein. You would want to have it be a lytic phage because they are able to make new phages by injecting their genetic material into the antibacterial-resistant bacteria.

After Phage Therapy the phage infects the bacteria by attaching to it. Then inserting its genetic material in the bacteria causes it to destroy the cell. To the naked eye after phage therapy, we will see on a plate more dots based on the phage being replicated. You don’t have to have a lytic phage but it will be hard to have the same type of phage if you don’t. This is what happened to us.
I am curious how you would go about editing your phage like you mentioned in your future directions?

Just curious as to what you mean by “edit” your phage to make it become lytic. Is this possible to do?

What would happen after the phage was chosen for phage therapy? Could you do gene therapy without the phage being lytic?
